Can the mode line mouse commands be turned off so that, for instance,
dragging mouse 1 over the buffer name copies it to the clipboard?

I don't think this is possible without modifying Emacs's C source code.
However, you might find the following useful or adaptable to your
purposes:
(defun srb-display-mode-line-string(&optional arg)
"Display the unpropertized mode-line string in the echo area.
With prefix argument ARG, insert it at point in the current buffer."
(interactive "P")
(let ((mode-line-string
(eval-expression '(format-mode-line mode-line-format 0))))
(and arg (insert mode-line-string))))
(global-set-key "\C-cf" 'srb-display-mode-line-string)

M-: (buffer-name)
emits the buffer name to the *Messages* buffer and you can copy and
paste it from there. What do you want to do with it?

What happens if you (setq mode-line-buffer-identification-keymap nil)?
